Template for Specialist Subject Self-Review and Board of Trustees Report 2009
SPECIALIST SUBJECT SELF-REVIEW The purpose of this self-review is to use student achievement data and progress against 2009 annual goals to inform specialist subject goals for 2010. There are attached templates to help with this process.
Analysis of Achievement Data for 2009
Commendations / Issues/Looking Ahead (TEMPLATE A)
Review of 2009 specialist subject goals (TEMPLATE B)
Quality assurance (TEMPLATE C)
Contribution to 2010 annual development plan goals (TEMPLATE D)
Specialist subject goals and targets 2010 (TEMPLATE E)
The BOT REPORTS will include: TEMPLATES A, B AND E (as highlighted) for each specialist subject.
SSLs are asked to take responsibility for the collation of information.
SSLs should expect to meet with their SLT manager to discuss the draft self review report by the end of week 9 term 1 (April 4th) 2010.
The expected timelines are attached as appendix 2.
SSLs should also include the analysis of achievement data in their reports – this should be used to evaluate goals from 2009 and to set specific achievement targetsfor 2010.
1. ANALYSIS OF ACHIEVEMENT DATA FROM 2009: Your analysis of achievement data does not need to include a comment on all of it. You will be expected to focus in on data which is not as expected, (e.g. achievement below national levels) or data which provides you with information which will assist you to achieve school/ specialist subject goals. Some good questions might include:
Are the results expected?
If targets have been set have they been met?
If there are unexpected results, what reasons might there be for the deviation?
Are there particular groups of students who are failing to achieve?
Were the standards/objectives well matched to the students’ abilities?
Were the skills assessed dependent on other skills (e.g. essay writing)?
Has this part of the curriculum been difficult/ easier than others?
Are there resources implications?
What trends are developing?
What action (if any) needs to be taken?
2. COMMENDATIONS; ISSUES; LOOKING AHEAD (TEMPLATE A) Comments should be focused on achievement and the quality of teaching programmes. Please comment on highlights (what went well), issues (what concerns us) and looking ahead (what we would like to develop/change)
3. REVIEW OF 2009 GOALS (TEMPLATE B) Please use the template to indicate progress you have made against each 2009 goal. Comment should include the success, or otherwise, of planned interventions, and next steps for development. SSLs need to ensure that all their teachers are included in this process. Please especially report the extent to which achievement targets set in the previous year have been achieved. (Please copy this as many times as you wish. You may wish to extend the boxes)
4. QUALITY ASSURANCE IN CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT (TEMPLATE C) Please tick the boxes as appropriate and comment only if you wish; this is meant to be a quick self check exercise which will be discussed at your appraisal.
5. CONTRIBUTION TO THE ANNUAL PLAN FOR 2010 (TEMPLATE D) Please comment on the contribution your learning area intends to make toward achieving the 2010 annual development plan.
6. GOALS AND TARGETS FOR 2010 (TEMPLATE E) Please develop your goals and targets for 2010 based on the 2009 achievement data, ASHS ’s 2010 annual development plan, and specialist subject priorities. You should already have drafted most of these goals in term 4 2009. Please note that you are required to contribute to the tracking of Māori and Pasifika students’ achievement. You may wish to extend the boxes in this template to suit your needs.
Achievement Targets
Achievement targets will be related to a goal and are likely to represent a “success indicator” for the goal You are asked to set an appropriate number of achievement targets. The number and nature of targets will vary according to the specialist subject , the nature of the goal, and the workload associated with each target for individual staff members. Please be aware that these targets should be numerical. For example:
“We intend to increase the % of excellence for all externals combined by at least --- percentage points to match the national figures for this year”
“We intend to increase the % of excellences in this standard to by 5 percentage points so that they are at least 2 percentage points above the previous assessment on this standard”
“We intend to reduce the number of not achieved grades by -- percentage points compared with 2009 achievement figures”
Note: the evaluation column will need to be filled in next year (2010). This template will be submitted to the Board of Trustees in 2010 as part of your 2009 review.

Quality assurance statement
Comment if you wish
Goals reflect school goals as documented in the annual development plan.
Course plans exist for all levels in all subjects and a copy of each has been handed to the principal, and a copy is on line.
Curriculum plans reflect our vision and values and learning objectives in the revised national curriculum documents.
Each specialist subject has an assessment policy (a copy of which is with the principal, and is on line), which reflects the ASHS curriculum and assessment policies.
Teachers follow curriculum plans and assessment policies and there is a system to ensure that this is the case.
All MU holders and teachers have specific and agreed responsibilities which they carry out to a satisfactory standard.
Regular meetings are held and minutes are recorded on line.
Achievement data for NCEA students is gathered and analysed and used to identify individual students and groups of students (ethnic groups particularly Māori and Pasifika boys and girls) not achieving or at risk of not achieving, and those not being challenged enough. The data is available on line to staff.
Student ‘perception’ evaluations of programmes/courses have been undertaken and results have been analysed and action taken if appropriate.
Teaching courses are regularly evaluated and redesigned in order to maximise student learning.
Course design is taking full advantages of NCEA flexibility to meet the learning needs of indiviuals (eg multi level courses/ limited credit courses/semester courses).
The total amount of assessment carried out by teachers and students is monitored, and limited to ensure manageability and to promote improved learning.
Particular programmes and policies exist to enhance the performance of Māori and Pasifika students.
All staff are appraised according to school wide guidelines.
All staff have had the opportunity to be involved in professional development.
Links have been established with subject professional associations (locally and nationally) and teachers participate in curriculum development initiatives when possible.

Data
This set of data is for you and will not be presented to the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees will be provided with school wide data by the principal.
Summary data by course / domain (NAME) for all NCEA (both internals and external) courses analysed by gender and ethnicity
There should be a comparison to national statistics and the external and internals should also be shown separately
Individual standards (both internal and external ) by NAME with comparison to national statistics
Analysis of each standard by gender and ethnicity
Teacher by teacher data by NAME
Student achievement data will also be available on line to parents. This means that as work is assessed (including practice assessments which would be perfectly acceptable) it is put on line as it is assessed.
